7x5x20=700 seen and confirmed. Like I was saying, if you aren't above 200 you aren't really trying.

Halcyon,
That's a bit of a "Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" type of comment. 
Is your middle name "Ozymandias"?
LOL
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong.

Elmindra where did you see 700% troops sov?  At 25% boost per sq for a lvl 5 you would need 28 sq's to do that.  Or a city where all 20 sov sq's at +2% and they claimed lvl 5 on all of them.

On a side note, 200% sov is fairly basic. I have seen towns with 400-700% troop sov in this war. Honestly it is a simple matter of how much gold and T2 an alliance has access to.

@Tatherion: War went on after the so called "Weihnachtsfrieden" (which was indeed a touching event), and costed all in all 17 Million human's lives till it was ended 4 years later.

The opposite to Illyriad! This is a game with PVP elements, what people tend to forget.
A game and not RL. So I would appreciate to leave all this heart - melting examples out of the current war discussion. It's emotional enough, as some people seem to forget, that Illyriad is nothing more than a game.

This reminds me of something quite extraordinary from RL I would like to share with you all:

It is an extract from a letter sent by Staff sergeant Clement Barker four days after Christmas Day 1914:

“A messenger come over from German lines and said that if (our side) did not fire, they (the Germans) wouldn’t in the morning (Xmas day).”

It was agreed, and the letter goes on to give a fascinating insight into the famous, brief truce.

“A German looked over the trench – no shots – our men did the same, and then a few of our men went out and brought the dead in and buried them and the next thing a football kicked out of our Trenches and Germans and English played football.”

The soldiers also shared carols, shook hands and exchanged cigarettes. Sgt Barker added: “We have conversed with the Germans and they all seem to be very much fed up and heaps of them are deserting. Some have given themselves up as ­prisoners, so things are looking quite rosy.”

At the time it was hushed up because troops weren’t supposed to fraternise with the enemy.

I sincerely hope the same spirit of chivalry could be displayed in Elgea in about three weeks.

Best,

Tatharion

I made this prediction a few days ago in another thread:

-----

Direct Link To This Post Posted: Nov 28 2013 at 19:31 I have this prediction:  Exterminating an alliance is not a just enough cause to keep people motivated to fight for the long term.  (As most of you know, Illy wars can last awhile.)
I thought the right to organize was a just enough cause to keep the Consone members fighting, but even that led to boredom for some members of that assembly.

There's an ugly side to the concept of forcing people out of the game because you don't like the way they play.  One of the nice aspects to Illyriad is the flexibility to approach it however you like. 

I hope, out of the respect I have for those involved, that a better justification for this conflict will  eventually surface.
